Weibo became lively because of Rongding’s announcement and Xie Yangfa’s photo, but the person who stirred up the excitement immediately put the online excitement aside after posting on Weibo and continued eating.
After dinner, Xie Yang accompanied Qiu Xing for a nap, and then the two set out to attend the concert.
After getting in the car, Qiu Xing turned on his cell phone which he had turned off during his nap, and immediately received a lot of calls.
Xie Yang listened to Qiu Xing answering the phone for a while and found that the callers could be divided into three categories: those who wanted to discuss with Qiu Xing how to reorganize Rongding, those who wanted to confirm whether Qiu Xing had really recovered, and those who wanted to beg Qiu Xing for forgiveness and apologize.
Most of the first type of calls came from Rongding’s senior management and shareholders, the second type of calls basically came from partners and investors, and the last type of calls were all from “traitors”.
Qiu Xing's attitude when answering the phone is very clear. The first type takes it seriously, the second type treats it politely, and the third type either doesn't answer it or directly settles the account and warns them after answering it. His attitude is very cold and ruthless.
It was not until the car stopped and the two arrived at the meeting place that Qiu Xing's phone finally stopped ringing.
After dealing with all parties, Qiu Xing took the initiative to make a phone call. He contacted Ho Kwan and asked Ho Kwan to draft a letter to all Rongding shareholders and directors, convening them to hold a formal shareholders' meeting in the second half of the year.
After Qiu Xing put away his phone, Xie Yang asked, "Are you going to hold a shareholders' meeting too?"
"Well, we must settle the matter with Qiu Jingwei and his gang." Qiu Xing put away his phone, "Sorry, I've been on the phone."
"It's okay, get off the car, the concert is about to start."
The two entered the concert hall together, found their seats, and waited for the concert to begin.
Many people around recognized Li Yang and Qiu Xing, and looked towards where they were sitting from time to time.
After Xie Yang noticed this, he moved closer to Qiu Xing and lowered his voice: "You are so beautiful, they are all looking at you."
Qiu Xing squeezed Jie Yang's hand and said, "Nonsense."
"I'm not kidding. I really don't like them peeking at you like this." Xie Yang pretended to be dissatisfied and suggested, "This is the bad thing about concerts. You can't wear masks. How about we go to the movies next time?"
Although he knew that Xie Yang was deliberately saying this to coax him, Qiu Xing couldn't help but feel better. He interlocked his fingers with Xie Yang and nodded, "Okay."
The concert organized by Xie Yang was not very long, only one and a half hours. This was also to take care of Qiu Xing's physical condition. Xie Yang was afraid that Qiu Xing would get a headache if he stayed in an environment surrounded by music all the time.
It gets dark early in winter. It was already dark when the two came out from the concert. The street lights were on and people were coming and going outside. Although it was not the weekend, there were still many people out celebrating Christmas. There were many men and women wearing or holding Christmas decorations in the crowd. I don't know which store was playing Christmas songs, which made people smile unconsciously.
Xie Yang took a deep breath of the slightly cool winter night air and turned his head to look at Qiu Xing: "Let's go home and eat."
Qiu Xing reached out to help Jie Yang gather his scarf, and held Jie Yang's hand: "Yeah."
The two men came to the side of the car, Qiu Xing helped Jie Yang open the door, but Jie Yang did not get in for the time being. Instead, he turned around and waved to the two girls who were following not far behind him with a smile, and then he lowered himself to get in the car.
Qiu Xing followed Jie Yang's line of sight and looked at the excited girls. When he saw them looking at him, he nodded slightly as a greeting, then got into the car and closed the door.
Not long after the car drove out, Qiu Xing's cell phone rang. Qiu Xing frowned, took out his phone and looked at it. Seeing that it was Feng Qinglin calling, he relaxed his brows again, answered the call, turned on the speakerphone, and asked, "What's up?"
"Uncle, how are you? I just came back from abroad and saw the news online."
"I'm fine."
Feng Qinglin's tone relaxed: "That's good, uncle, I want to go to your place to see you, is it convenient? Are you in the hospital or at home? I have something else to tell you and uncle."
Qiu Xing paused strangely before replying, "I just came back from abroad, so go home and have a good rest and adjust to the time difference. I'm fine, you don't have to come to see me specially."
You actually refused?
Xie Yang turned his head to look at Qiu Xing.
Although Qiu Xing loves to scold Feng Qinglin and is very hypocritical, he never refuses Feng Qinglin's concern.
Something is wrong.
Qiu Xing's face tensed up when Jie Yang looked at him, and his speech speed suddenly quickened: "Let's not talk anymore, you should have a good rest when you go home." After that, he hung up the phone and put away his phone.
Xie Yang looked at Qiu Xing leisurely.
"...Today is our date." Qiu Xing suddenly reached out and hooked his hand around Jie Yang, holding him in his arms, and pressed the back of Jie Yang's head, "I just want to be alone with you today."
Xie Yang raised his eyebrows, smiled, hugged Qiu Xing back, and in his heart apologized to Feng Qinglin who had specially rushed back to celebrate Qiu Xing's birthday.
"Okay." He raised his head and kissed Qiu Xing, "Today it's just the two of us together."
Dingsheng Community also has a lot of Christmas decorations to suit the occasion. In addition to some small toys, there is also a super large and exquisite Christmas tree at the entrance of the community, and many children in the community are playing underneath it.
Xie Yang took out his cell phone and took a picture.
"Like Christmas trees?"
"It's okay." Xie Yang saved the photo. "I just suddenly got the inspiration to write a holiday song."
Qiu Xing was immediately alert: "Don't stay up late."
"I won't stay up late. I'll stay with you to nourish your body."
Qiu Xing was finally satisfied. He looked at the Christmas tree on Jie Yang's phone screen with a critical eye and hummed softly.
After arriving home, Xie Yang discovered that the house was completely dark, as if no one was there. He turned his head to look at Qiu Xing who was beside him.
Qiu Xing had a calm face, as if he didn't notice the abnormal darkness in the house, and said, "Get out of the car." After saying that, he opened the door and got out of the car first, then walked around to Jie Yang's side and helped Jie Yang open the door.
Xie Yang looked at Qiu Xing who never looked at him from outside the car, then looked at the pitch-black house. He probably guessed what Qiu Xing was up to, and couldn't help but smile. He reached out and took Qiu Xing's hand before getting out of the car.
Qiu Xing immediately held Jie Yang's hand tightly and led Jie Yang towards the house.
Xie Yang followed obediently.
Neither of them spoke, but the atmosphere was warm.
After opening the door, Qiu Xing finally spoke and said, "Turn on the light."
Xie Yang obediently reached for the switch.
Pop.
Some small star-shaped lights lit up one after another on the top of the porch, and the star-like lights spread warmly, spreading all the way into the living room. Through the gaps between the partitions, one could vaguely see that there were many more Christmas decorations in the living room.
Qiu Xing gently pulled Jie Yang's hand and said, "Come in."
Xie Yang retracted his gaze, glanced at Qiu Xing who still didn't quite dare to look at him, changed into slippers, and obediently followed Qiu Xing inside.
There were indeed many more Christmas decorations in the living room. In the corner by the window stood a small and exquisite Christmas tree, with many exquisite gift boxes piled underneath.
"I hope it's full."
Qiu Xing followed Jie Yang's gaze towards the Christmas tree and squeezed Jie Yang's hand: "How could I leave it empty for you... Let's go and have dinner."
The two walked into the restaurant, Qiu Xing let go of his hand and turned on the lights in the restaurant himself.
Warm lights came on, and a sumptuous and exquisite candlelight dinner was spread out in front of Jie Yang. In the middle of the table, a large bouquet of roses bloomed warmly.
"I don't want our first date to leave any regrets because of my physical condition." Qiu Xing walked to the dining table, turned around and faced Jie Yang, and finally looked directly into his eyes. "Thank you for your hard work during this period... Yangyang, welcome home."
Although he had guessed it, Xie Yang was still moved. He showed a brilliant smile, walked forward, hugged Qiu Xing, and rested his chin on Qiu Xing's shoulder.
“Thank you for preparing these, I love them.”
Qiu Xing hugged Jie Yang back and stroked his back lovingly.
The two hugged each other silently for a while, then let go of each other tacitly, looked at each other for two seconds, and then moved closer.
The aroma of food and flowers wafted in the air, and Xie Yang felt that this would probably be the most unforgettable and favorite date in his life.
After a while of intimacy, Qiu Xing escorted Jie Yang to his seat, set the tableware for him, rearranged the warm dishes on the table, then turned and walked to the window of the restaurant with the curtains closed.
Xie Yang looked at the curtains, then at Qiu Xing, and asked with a smile, "Are there any other surprises?"
Qiu Xing didn't answer, but just glanced at Li Yang and then pulled open the curtains.
The restaurant window faces the backyard, and when the curtains are opened, twinkling lights come on. In the small world circled by the window frame, a fairy-tale sea of stars was scattered, the fountain in the center of the lake was spraying slowly with flickering lights, and the sound of light music could be heard faintly. In the middle of the white European-style pavilion by the lake, a tall and beautiful Christmas tree wrapped with gifts stood, and a Q-version Jie Yang doll wearing Santa Claus costume was hung on the top of the tree.
The pavilion must have been specially lit up, with fragments of light flashing from the Christmas tree from time to time, making it seem like a dream.
Qiu Xing asked, "Compared to the one at the entrance of the community, how does this one... look?"
Xie Yang came back to his senses, looking at Qiu Xing who was clearly eager to ask for a reward but pretending to be calm, he suppressed his laughter and replied, "This one looks better."
Qiu Xing's mouth curled up in satisfaction, but when he thought of something, his expression suddenly turned serious again, and he looked at Jie Yang with a warning: "Even if you have more inspiration, you are not allowed to stay up late to create."
Xie Yang smiled and nodded.
Qiu Xing then walked back, touched Jie Yang's face, and leaned over to him.
Xie Yang closed his eyes.
After the kiss, Qiu Xing stepped back and looked at Jie Yang. After a while, he suddenly came back to his senses, tilted his head, coughed, and said, "Let's eat. The food is getting cold."
The two finally started to eat. The dishes on the table should have been specially instructed by Qiu Xing. The dishes on Jie Yang's plate were obviously more abundant than those on Qiu Xing's plate.
Xie Yang noticed this and moved his legs under the table, rubbing against Qiu Xing.
Qiu Xing, who was rolling noodles with a fork, paused and looked up at Jie Yang.
Xie Yang's expression was serious: "I think maybe you can ask Kirkman now... It's better to have a complete date, what do you think?"
Qiu Xing's Adam's apple moved, and just as he was about to speak, the doorbell suddenly rang.
“…”
The ambiguous and hazy atmosphere was instantly broken, Qiu Xing frowned and looked towards the door. Xie Yang also looked towards the door, pulled his legs back from under the table, and said, "I guess it's Feng Qinglin."
“…I’ll go take a look.”
Qiu Xing stood up and walked towards the door.
Xie Yang stood up and followed.
The two of them came to the porch and looked outside through the video doorbell. As expected, they saw Feng Qinglin's face.
Qiu Xing: “…”
Xie Yang found it funny. He patted Qiu Xing on the shoulder and consoled him, "He didn't mean it. Let him in first. It's very cold outside." Then he went to open the door.
Qiu Xing suddenly reached out and pressed Jie Yang's shoulder, then took Jie Yang into his arms, turned on the intercom, and said, "I'll ask Zhou Miao to take you to the house where Master Liao and his family live to rest. Go to bed early and adjust to the time difference."
"Ah? What? Uncle——"
Qiu Xing ruthlessly hung up the intercom, then looked at Jie Yang in his arms and said, "I'm going to call Kirkman... You promised that it would be just you and me today."
Xie Yang deliberately said: "But Feng Qinglin rushed as soon as he got off the plane--"
"This is our first date."
"But Feng Qinglin seems to have something important to do--hmm."
Qiu Xing bit Jie Yang and stepped back, staring at Jie Yang with an expression that said, "If you dare to let a third person into the house, you're done." "It's late, we should rest."
Xie Yang stopped making a fuss, licked the place where he was bitten, hugged Qiu Xing back, and raised his head.
